Answer:

20ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Let the width = W

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

L = 5W .......equation 1

2L + 2W = 24 ........equation 2

To find the width

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, we have;

2(5W) + 2W = 24

10W + 2W = 24

12W = 24

W = 24/12

Width, W = 2 ft

To find the length;

Substituting the value of "W" into equation 1, we have;

L = 5W

L = 5*2

L = 10 ft

To find the area of the rectangle;

Area = LW

Area = 10*2

<em>Area = 20 ft²</em>

Therefore, the deck's area is 20 feet square.

Answer:

A. The distribution of sample means of the differences will be approximately normal if there are at least 30 years of data in the sample​ and/or if the population of differences in winning times for all years is normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to perform a valid paired test, one of the conditions required is that, data for both groups must be approximately normal. To attain normality, the population distribution for the groups must be normal or based on the central limit theorem, the sample size must be large enough, usually n > 30. Hence, once either of the two conditions are met, the paired sample will be valid.
